This is Change?

Where: WBAI, MNN and more
Watch/listen to Institute Fellow Jeremy Scahill talk about his latest article on AlterNet, titled, "This is Change?", which profiles the people likely to be major players in an Obama administration.

Scahill writes, "Barack Obama campaigned on a pledge to bring change to Washington. "I don't want to just end the war," he said early this year. "I want to end the mindset that got us into war." That is going to be very difficult if Obama employs a foreign policy team that was central to creating that mindset, before and during the presidency of George W. Bush."

Jeremy Scahill is a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute. Read more about him here.
